EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: WAIT Usher In “The End of Noise”
If you're not familiar with WAIT (whose name stands for We Wait In Transit), I won't fault you; while they released an excellent, self-titled EP in 2019, which we covered on our podcast, the band have so far f... Read More...
EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: Agvirre Are Back With “_ _ _ _ _ _”
Yes, that's the album's name and it's pronounced "HIDDEN". Clever, right? Honestly, such antics would make me roll my eyes if I wasn't already familiar with Agvirre and knew they could absolutely cash in the check they are writing here. If you recall, we firs... Read More...

SOM – The Shape Of Everything
Shoegaze act SOM arrived in 2018 and melted hearts with their debut album The Fall, then blew us away from the stage at POST. Festival the following year.

Yearly Missive // 2021
Hey! It's time to, once again, summarize the year. To be honest, I wrote most of my "big" thoughts in my Year in Review. Makes sense, right? The point of this post then is to help you orient yourself around al... Read More...
